hello - probs



Is hello_1-13.deb still current?  I am trying to learn the gentle art of
package making, but this is what happens with dpkg-source.

elm# dpkg-source -x /cdrom/stable/source/misc/hello_1.3-13.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting hello in hello-1.3
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
 directories
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot
 access parent directories
elm# dpkg --build hello-1.3
dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `hello-1.3/DEBIAN/control' for
 reading: No such file or directory
elm#

In fact hello contains " debian/" rather than "DEBIAN/".  
 Has the standard changed?
 Is the getcwd error significant?
